Real Madrid suffered a disappointing 2-5 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on January 13, 2025, which not only cost them the chance to defend their title but also served as a stark warning of the team's overall state. The match took place on the grand stage of the Spanish Super Cup, though the specific location was not emphasized; it was clearly a significant clash between two giants of Spanish football. The outcome left many puzzled and helpless. Barcelona's performance was outstanding, with Rafinha contributing two goals and an assist, while Lewandowski also excelled with a goal and an assist. Other Barcelona players, such as Yamar and Balde, each scored a goal, demonstrating a cohesive effort. On Real Madrid's side, Mbappe shone with several threatening passes, including an impressive backheel pass that unfortunately went uncapitalized by Bellingham. Besides Mbappe's breakthroughs, Rodrygo scored a goal for Real Madrid, but overall, the team's attack was weak and their defense riddled with gaps. What particularly distressed Real Madrid fans was the red card given to goalkeeper Szczesny in the 56th minute for a foul. While this incident significantly impacted the game, even without the red card, it seemed unlikely that Real Madrid could have turned the tide. In fact, Real Madrid had already lost six matches this season, a significant decline from last season when they only suffered two defeats, both against Atletico Madrid. The sense of loss for Real Madrid is growing stronger. Bellingham's performance has been a hot topic among fans. Often compared to former Real Madrid legend…

On January 13th, Real Madrid suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, missing out on the chance to defend their title. This season, Real Madrid has already lost six games, including a 0-4 defeat against Barcelona in La Liga and another significant loss in this match. Rafinha scored twice and provided an assist, Lewandowski contributed with a goal and an assist, while Gavi and Balde also found the net for Barcelona. Real Madrid managed to score through Mbappe and Rodrygo. If not for Szczesny's red card in the 56th minute, Real Madrid might have faced an even greater defeat. The match highlighted the shortcomings of the 180 million euro star, who occupies the number 10 position but fails to organize the offense and wastes Mbappe's brilliant passes. Just past the halfway point of the season, Real Madrid has already lost six games, including being defeated twice by Barcelona, as well as losses to Lille, Milan, Liverpool, and Athletic Bilbao. Last season, Real Madrid only suffered two defeats, both against Atletico Madrid, indicating a decline in performance this season. With Real Madrid's failure to win the Spanish Super Cup final, the strengths and weaknesses of player Jude Bellingham have become evident. Many fans compare Bellingham to Zinedine Zidane, but in reality, their playing styles are quite different. During the match against Barcelona, Bellingham received a rating of only 6.6, the lowest among the four attacking players in Real Madrid's lineup, scoring lower than Mbappe and the Brazilian duo. Mbappe was the most threatening…

Has Real Madrid really found their "chosen one"? A decisive 3-0 victory suggests they have undergone a transformation, or was it just a stroke of luck in a home game? Especially in recent years, as competition among top clubs has intensified, this big family seems to have revealed its trump card. Unexpectedly, a 21-year-old rising star has become the soul of this victory, but can the future of Real Madrid really be pinned on him alone? First, let's talk about the match. In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid faced Mallorca, and the result was not surprising: a 3-0 victory, securing a comfortable advancement. While such an outcome is undoubtedly satisfying, the match itself was not as easy as the score suggests. In the first half, both sides were locked in a tight battle, with Real Madrid maintaining a higher possession rate and creating numerous attacks, yet unable to break the deadlock. The turning point came in the 63rd minute with Jude Bellingham's crucial follow-up shot. He decisively struck the ball into the net before the opponent could clear it, breaking the stalemate and igniting the team's morale. Following this, a Mallorca defender's own goal, which could be seen as a "divine assist," propelled Real Madrid onto the fast track to victory. Then, just before the end of the match, Rodrygo sealed the score with a beautiful push shot. Ultimately, while the team effort was evident, Bellingham was undoubtedly the "true core." Beyond his goal-scoring contribution, he covered the entire field with his runs, constantly creating threats,…

This victory was not unexpected, but every detail reminded us: how terrifying this Real Madrid team is this season. After the semi-finals, Real Madrid will compete for the championship with their old rival Barcelona - a classic confrontation between old enemies!

Throughout the season, he has consistently performed well: in 12 games, he has been directly involved in 13 goals (9 goals and 4 assists), with statistics so impressive that one might think they were playing a video game.…

Although Arsenal's battle in the Premier League is still full of uncertainty, one thing is certain: Arsenal must strengthen their squad in January. According to multiple British media reports, Arsenal plans to sign their new Ramsey - Jobi Bellingham in January. If Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury wasn't enough, then losing points against Brighton and Eason Nwaneri's muscle problems that will keep him out for "a few weeks" should also be taken seriously. Despite this, fans must remain patient because the winter transfer window is usually difficult for transactions. Clubs do not want to lose their star players because they have little time to replace them, so if the person you want is not available, you may have to pay a higher price. Despite this, it would be unforgivable if Arsenal did not bring in new players as they are already six points behind league leaders Liverpool and have played one more game. We are now in the first week of the January transfer window, but there has not been much action from Arsenal. There have been rumors about bringing in Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, but the latest news is that the Brazilian may sign a contract extension at Molineux Stadium. Therefore, Arsenal may have to take some other routes to reinforce, and according to reports, their offer for Botafogo striker Igor Jesus in the Brazilian Serie A has been rejected. So, who else are they linked with? They may get some gains from Jobi Bellingham, the younger brother of Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham. According to British media Football Transfers…

Real Madrid, this century-old powerhouse, always manages to catch you off guard just when you're about to forget them. Imagine playing with one less man, missing a penalty, and having a goal disallowed; could you still win the game? Most teams would probably have surrendered by now. But Real Madrid not only won, but also staged a comeback! This wasn't just plain good luck; behind it all was Ancelotti, the experienced old coach, who, like a seasoned chef, crafted a "tactical feast" - the 4231 formation - using the "ingredients" at hand. The match at Valencia's home ground was truly full of danger. Real Madrid didn't have an easy time, as their opponents' tenacious resistance left them struggling at times. The game reached the 27th minute when Valencia's Duro took advantage of an opportunity to score a rebound, leaving Real Madrid trailing 0-1. It was a bitter taste, especially when playing away. After finally getting a penalty from Mbappe, Bellingham missed it, which was really disappointing. Even more frustrating was that after Mbappe managed to score a goal, it was disallowed by the referee for offside. These consecutive blows would be unbearable for anyone. However, Real Madrid held on, gritted their teeth, and refused to give up. However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on Real Madrid. In the 79th minute of the game, Vinicius was sent off with a red card for a foul, forcing Real Madrid to play with one less man. Now they were already trailing and down a man; could they still turn the game…

Real Madrid is a team that always manages to surprise when things get tough. This was evident in their match against Valencia, where they managed to turn the score around despite being behind and down a player. All credit goes to Ancelotti's timely tactical changes and Bellingham's outstanding performance. Bellingham's performance since joining Real Madrid has taken everyone by surprise. The young player not only organizes attacks in midfield but also steps up in crucial moments. The match against Valencia is a clear example. Although he missed a penalty in the first half, he did not let this setback defeat him; instead, he scored the decisive goal in the final moments of the game. Looking at the statistics, Bellingham was fouled six times during the match and won 13 out of 20 duels, indicating his strong presence on the field. After Ancelotti switched to a 4231 formation, Bellingham was placed in the attacking midfielder position, which maximized his strengths. In the past six games, Bellingham has scored four goals and provided two assists, an efficiency rare among midfielders. Compared to Vinicius' impulsiveness and Mbappe's individual heroism, Bellingham appears more mature and stable, knowing when to pass and when to take matters into his own hands. Real Madrid now relies heavily on Bellingham, who functions like the team's engine, contributing both offensively and defensively. Following the loss to Athletic Bilbao, Ancelotti made tactical adjustments that significantly improved the team's performance. The new 4231 formation makes the team more flexible in attack and strengthens midfield control, making it difficult for opponents to…

Real Madrid's away game against Valencia in the 12th round of the La Liga fixture saw the team display resilience in adversity and highlighted the young talent of Jude Bellingham stepping up in crucial moments. All of this stemmed from Carlo Ancelotti's tactical adjustments. Bellingham missed a penalty in the 55th minute, hitting the post, which could have been a morale-damaging moment. However, the young player was not deterred by the mistake and instead became more proactive in the subsequent game. He fought fiercely in midfield, completing multiple interceptions in the opponent's half, and his indomitable spirit inspired the entire team, keeping Real Madrid's fighting spirit alive in difficult circumstances. Bellingham's performance in the final moments of the game was even more impressive. He first assisted Luka Modric in the 85th minute to help the team equalize, then completed a decisive goal during stoppage time. This kind of big-game mentality is reminiscent of former players like Zinedine Zidane and Raul, who also stepped up to carry the team during Real Madrid's toughest times. In a club like Real Madrid, young players often take a long time to adapt to the pressure, but Bellingham seems naturally suited for it. His every tackle is full of passion, and every pass is full of ideas. On the field, he can both cooperate with his teammates seamlessly and complete attacks on his own. In the game, he was fouled six times by the opponents, showing his threat in attack, and the data of winning 13 out of 20 duels reflects his contribution in defense.…

A thrilling match unfolded in the La Liga as Real Madrid faced off against Valencia in a make-up game for the 12th round. Real Madrid has not had a particularly impressive season so far, with only 12 wins out of 18 league games, suffering 2 losses and drawing 4 times. This record has placed them in a fierce battle for the championship. In this crucial make-up game, they faced Valencia, a team struggling in the relegation zone. In their last three encounters, Real Madrid had one win, one draw, and one loss. However, this time, they managed an incredible comeback to secure all three points. Real Madrid lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Kylian Mbappe leading the attack. Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo were the attacking trio, while Federico Valverde and Dani Ceballos formed the double pivot in midfield. Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and Lucas Vázquez started as the four defenders, with Thibaut Courtois in goal. Eduardo Camavinga, Marco Asensio, Borja Mayoral, and Luka Modrić were on standby on the bench. Valencia started the game with a sharp offensive, creating several chances. However, it was not until the 27th minute that they capitalized on their opportunities when Hugo Duro scored after a rebound from a shot by Héctor Hernández. Despite Real Madrid's efforts to respond more aggressively in the second half, they found themselves trailing 0-1 at halftime. They had 64% possession and 12 shots, but only three were on target, failing to score. Valencia, on the other hand, had seven shots, five on target, scoring…
